First steps if you lose your dog in Pontypridd

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search outward toward Barry Sidings Country Park, about 1.1 miles away, and Bronwydd Park at around 2.9 miles, where a dog may keep moving.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

  3. 3

    Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.

    Tip from locals

    Ask dog walkers in Ynysangharad Park, about 0.2 miles away, and on Coed-Pen-Maen Common, around 0.6 miles, to watch and call calmly rather than chase.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Name Tonyrefail, about 3.9 miles west, and Abertridwr, around 3.3 miles east, as villages a dog may already have reached, so include them when you spread the word.
